About
Hidden away for 900 years near the picturesque village of Amberley in the chalk South Downs, Amberley Castle is a magnificent historical treasure that offers a truly unique experience. Through the Portcullis and 60 ft curtain walls you will find beautiful landscaped gardens, fine examples of medieval architecture and an unrivalled atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The castle is still completely enclosed by a high curtain wall, which is only flanked by a magnificent twin-tower gatehouse to the south and a kitchen block and a garderode tower with gun loops to the north. Square internal towers stood at the corners, with a small water-gate in the west wall and a Norman postern in the east wall.
Begin your Afternoon Tea adventure with a refreshing seasonal bubble tea, a delightful twist on a classic favourite. Then, indulge in a savoury symphony of sandwiches, wraps, toasties, sausage rolls, and quiche. Your taste buds will dance with delight as you move on to our hand-crafted seasonal selection of cakes, beautifully adorned and bursting with flavour. No afternoon tea is complete without the quintessential homemade scones, served with clotted cream and jam. Light and fluffy on the inside with a crunchy golden brown crust, the scones are the perfect canvas for the rich velvety clotted cream and the sweet and tangy jam, creating an indulgent symphony of textures and tastes. To complete this experience, choose from our wide array of premium teas or coffee, creating the perfect pairing for your delightful afternoon.
